Difficult topic

As a non-educator it is difficult for me to suggest the interactions between an educator, a student and mobile technology.

The main issue I foresee is that the mobile technology is difficult to restrict to prevent plagiarism as there are online examples of sites selling essays with an easy google search.  However, if you consider this a reflection of an adult fear being placed upon the student.  My best guess would be to discuss the use with the class and restrict the access if misused in line with Behaviourism.

However, the student could then use the mobile technology to access online resources and guides as well as blog their experiences to create a greater and more collaborative network than is traditionally available within the classroom for them so this could improve and streamline the experience.

I will add more if I can think of any more options or uses.
